I am sick and I am miserable with it and I am still annoyed that someone didn't stop to think if they were still contagious and so did this to me. And this someone knows about my family and how it isn't "just a cold" for us.

Today I nearly overreacted (at work!) to what is not a small thing bit did not require the reaction I was primed to give and it made me realise just how little I've been taking care of myself the last few weeks. My brain is tired and stressed and broken and so it snapped today.

There is a line between "ask any questions" and "will not even try to find out things for themselves" and I think I may be close to finding out where that is...

I genuinely had the best weekend with some of my closest friends: huge laughs, deep and shallow discussions, power cuts, dishwasher roulette, emergency Deliveroo order for a corkscrew... But I'd be lying if I said I didn't now need a break to recover before going back to work tomorrow!

I am pretty good at doing a meal plan, of working out my macros and the like, but the second my sweet tooth is activated all bets are off. I really need to find something I can have that won't involve me inhaling entire bars of chocolate

"Oh that's good timing," I say as I open the door just after the delivery driver knocks on the door. Like I wasn't tracking them, watched them pull up, and had been waiting just by the door because I know they are under pressure with their time and delivery schedule

Up until quite late on last night I thought today's shift started at 9. Nope. 8am. I realised this last night and shifted my nightly prep accordingly for one less hour in the morning but it feels like my body is saying "you promised us 9am so we're only getting started now".

If I tell you that I had already left home this morning when I realised I'd left my ear buds behind, and you don't immediately think "oh so she went back for them" then you need to learn quite a bit about me...!

Started the day by losing a contact lens so it's off to a great start. At least my plans have changed and I'm WFH today (and the changes in plans necessitating being at home are another frustration...) Here's hoping today only gets better

I live on a cul de sac, and the parking/navigationis a nightmare because of a neighbour's number of cars I'm watching a delivery van be unable to make it to the end of the street because of how they're parked and this is just someone who's getting new furniture. Imagine it was an emergency vehicle.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

My parents are on a diet which basically means all their chocolate is mine and I am MORE than happy to support them in this. (Dad needs to lose a bit, Mum is joining in solidarity and for ease of cooking.)

It is deceptively cold out there and so I may have taken a walking route that went past my local Costa. And whoops, there was a caramel slice with that hot chocolate. Oh no.

The last week has been A Lot but today had a good win I have been slightly stagnant on my chest press weights: I struggled to lift them up at first but after that I could smash out a set. Today I pressed those 20kg dumbbells up into the air like I was born to do it 💪💪

Spending time online can leave you with a warped view of the world and that's a shame. Good people have always outnumbered bad people and things generally get better. Hold onto that x

Broken treadmill has been disassembled, scrap man organised for tomorrow New walking pad ordered, going to the parents' as delivery dates hit my office days this week. Standing desk ordered too January is turning out to be way more expensive than I'd planned but trying to reframe as investments.

Every time I see one of those "we hid 200 numbered little ducks around my family member's house" I think that very few of them would have taken the obvious next step of skipping occasional numbers. So they find number 250 but don't have 250 in total...
